I have a repository (workbench) that promotes a subdirectory into trunk:

mv /trunk /trunk-x mv /trunk-x/workbench /trunk rmdir /trunk-x

Snerp Vortex ttires to do this:

git branch -m trunk trunk-x ... how does git "branch" a directory? fail.

I am investigating a structure visualizer/editor that will let humans decide whether these things are branch renames or directory renames. It'll be a bit more work for the user, but it'll give the user the final say in questionable cases like this.
